Bric a Brac : No chai for Ambika

HAVE you seen the eighth wonder of the Congress Party? If not, then just visit 24 Akbar Road in New Delhi and meet Ambika Soni, a Rajya Sabha member. What is her role, what does she do, how has she successfully grabbed four times Rajya Sabha nomination from Punjab and Delhi. It is a matter of research to know that how Soni survived for almost four decades without any political base in the country. She is a national leader who has not won any Lok Sabha election so far. She messed up everything as a Minister for Information & Broadcasting as she was not aware about the intricate nature of the media. Her lifetime desire was to become Chief Minister of Punjab, so she keeps on hobnobbing in the politics of Punjab. She fought the Lok Sabha election from Anandpur Sahib in Punjab to establish her legitimacy but lost to Prem Singh Chandumajra in 2014. She met a very hard working Congress family during the election. She did not keep track with the family after the Parliamentary elections even though one of the family members keeps on meeting her in Delhi regularly. Recently, Soni had to visit Mohali during the Punjab assembly elections, so she telephoned the family and informed them that she would like to have tea with them as they stay in Mohali. Soni could not believe when the family refused to host tea party. They simply told her that they don’t want to meet her and offer a cup of tea. This is the stature of this national leader. g
